Store it away from direct sunlight

Storing amlas in a cool and dry place away from direct sunlight prevents the fruit from releasing ethylene, thus preventing it from spoiling faster.

Tupperware is your best friend

By storing amlas in airtight containers (such as Tupperware) prevents moisture from penetrating the fruit, reducing the chances of spoilage.

Use salt water for long term storage

Amlas can be stored in pre-boiled and cooled down salt water, in an airtight container, for 4-8 months.

Make amla powder

After de-seeding, the fruit of amla can be dried and ground into a fine powder, that can be used for cooking as well as garnishing.

Candy your amla

By sun-drying boiled amlas, and adding a generous amount of sugar, you can make delicious candy that can be stored for months, in an airtight jar.

Use the freezer

Sliced and de-seeded amlas can be stored in the freezer for upto a year.
